The scoreline should not disguise a pretty insipid performance by England against a very poor Bos and H team. Palmer, Bowen and Eze looked lively. Wharton came on and bossed the midfield.

Groß carried Germany’s game today and it was more than clear he deserved to win Man of the Match from the get go. The Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder was the best player on the pitch by far. If his teammates played the football that he did, today’s game would not have ended in a goalless draw. Groß had the most passes on the pitch, created big chances, took some big shots, and made a big impact in Germany’s defensive half. Groß seemed to be everywhere on the pitch, and he no doubt deserves to be Julian Nagelsmann’s first choice midfielder.

What an underrated player he's been. Got his first senior cap in 2023 at the ripe old age of 31.

Maddison out.

Maddison out.

Right decision there ..been in poor form since coming back from injury. Even aside from that too many better options

No Branthwaite, but taking Dunk, Guehi, Konsa & Gomez.

No Maguire after the best season he has had in 3 years is peak Southgate.

Still injured apparently.

Still injured apparently.

That’s a shame. He would have deserved his spot this summer, as did Branthwaite. That is a terrible decision.

On form Branthwaite deserved to be in instead of Guehi or Dunk. Toney is also lucky to stay in the squad. Maybe he will be subbed on before penalty shoot outs.

No Grealish is strange to me.

Not to me

We’re losing to Iceland. Not only is that familiar, it should rubbish any notion that we can win it.

 

[RPCB]

Leading Germany 1-0 at halftime. That is all well and good but it would have been nice if we played like this against Georgia in a match that mattered.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Lol England. That's embarrassing even for a friendly. Icelands bitches.

Pep insists on Grealish staying wide left so the moron Southgate does the same even though England don't play the same as City. Grealish could do a better job than Mainoo if given that role.

Wasn’t most of his success at Villa coming in from the left?

Yep. Portugal will win it just like in 2016 ( could actually happen ) but geez it's a joke. It means nothing. Actually Portugal lost a friendly to us pre-2016 Euro so yeah. It means jack shit.

 

[Toffee Lion]

England leaving out Branthwaite is a massive crime and already shows they're weak at the back against Iceland.

The kid is that good. England's loss lmao.

If only the decision makers decided to give at least 1 of the 2 highest rated English centre backs from all of last season a chance

You have more optimism than I.
